NONSENSE VERSE

Talking 21^st Century Covid-19 Blues

Raw wet market bush meat, infected by a bat

Someone had a yen for a flank of bitten civet cat

I went to my bank and addressed my teller masked

She didn’t even blink, no, she never even asked

Compass duct tape arrows in every single store

Pointing this way out, exit through that door

A Home Depot list is pinned on the kitchen wall

I’m in the plumbing aisle, can’t remember it at all

I memorized the lyrics of all of my favourite songs

Today all those words I know are very very wrong

I’ve forgotten who I was, don’t know who I am

I’m just your average first wave pandemic man

Dinner tonight will be a bagged drive-thru treat

A rubber gloved cone of sloppy mystery meat
